Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 60 The King of Wei comes to complain

Later, the King of Jin thought about it and realized that rather than reprimanding him, demotion would make those veterans realize the emperor's determination to protect the prince.

This will greatly improve the situation of the prince's brother being criticized all the time.

A few days later, one day, King Li Tai of Wei entered the palace. He showed the emperor the "Kuo Di Zhi" compiled by the presiding officer. After the emperor accepted it, he turned to see Princess Jinyang.

Following the guidance of the palace servants, he walked around to the waterfall behind the inner garden and found them.

At that time, Wu Rou was pushing Princess Jinyang to play on the swing. From far away, Princess Jinyang saw King Wei driving someone in a sedan chair. She stopped and said:

"Is Fourth Brother coming to see me?"

Wu Rou also saw it, and the green roof of the sedan was heading this way around the bushes.

His fat figure flashed among the woods from time to time. When he saw them, he looked over with a smile and waved, looking a little anxious. He must have come to find them.

Wu Rou saw Princess Jinyang's face wrinkled up in the sun. She didn't know whether it was because the sun dazzled her eyes or she was in a bad mood, so she asked:
"What's the matter princess?"

Princess Jinyang frowned and said:
"It's nothing, I just don't like talking to Fourth Brother. He has too many thoughts. If he says something that doesn't go his way, he'll get upset. He won't say anything when he's unhappy, and he'll just complain with a smile.

I apologized to him, but he pretended to be generous again without saying anything sincere.

It's too much effort to get along with such people, and I don't like it.But he is my fourth brother, so I can’t say anything. "

After Wu Rou heard this, she raised her chin slightly and volunteered:
"It's okay. I'll help the princess deal with it. It's just a matter of praising him and supporting him. He will definitely not be unhappy if you support him."

Just as he was talking, the sedan chair of Wei King Li Tai came over. He got down from the sedan chair, walked to Princess Jinyang, and said with a smile:
"Rhinoceros, where are you playing on the swing? Is it fun?"

Princess Jinyang said to herself that she was not a three-year-old child. She came here to play just to have a rest. Could it be that she was still playful.So she stood up directly, obediently saluted King Wei and said:
"I've met Fourth Brother. Does Fourth Brother want to see me for anything?"

King Wei glanced at Wu Rou with unknown meaning. Wu Rou didn't react for a moment. After she woke up, she quickly said:
"Oh, does His Highness have something to say that is not convenient for me to hear? I will go further away."

King Wei quickly raised his arm, pressed his hand down, greeted her and said:
"No, no, Wu Cai people misunderstood. I just came to see the rhinoceros and will be leaving soon. I have nothing important to say."

Wu Rou stopped after hearing this and watched him tilt his head slightly, somewhat confused as to what he meant.

King Wei seemed to feel tired from standing. He twisted his hips and looked around, as if he wanted to find a place to sit. The people following him were very alert and immediately spread the seat on the ground.

King Wei took advantage of the situation and sat cross-legged, sitting right in front of Princess Jinyang. Seeing this, Princess Jinyang had no choice but to sit on the swing again.

The palace servants serving the princess were still standing far away, and the people carrying the sedan chair for King Wei were not close, so there were only three of them on the swing, and there were two big trees for shade.

King Wei looked at Princess Jinyang with his fat eyes and said:

"I know, Xizi doesn't like the fourth brother, but likes your ninth brother, King Jin, right?"

Princess Jinyang pursed her lips when she heard this, lowered her eyes and said nothing.She was more than a year younger than King Wei, and she always felt awkward talking and chatting.

If he admitted it directly, he would definitely get angry again. If she lied, she wouldn't tell the truth, so he could only remain silent.

Wu Rou came to the rescue with a smile and said:

"After all, the princess has spent a long time with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and they are more familiar with each other. In fact, they are both brothers. There is no one who likes or dislikes her. His Highness Prince Wei often comes into the palace to talk to the princess, and the princess must be happy."

King Wei glanced at her, his smile grew wider, and he said:
"That's right. After all, blood is thicker than water. When I look at the rhinoceros, I naturally feel close to him. I think the rhinoceros feels the same way about me."

Wu Rou's beautiful eyebrows flashed, and she felt a little surprised.

It was not like she had never met King Wei in the past. He often came to the palace. Whether at banquets or on the road, the King of Wei she met was always high-minded and never bothered to talk to a little talented person like her.

I was a little too enthusiastic today.

Then I heard King Wei sigh and say:

"Hey... I'm just in a bad mood recently. I want to talk to my relatives, but it's not convenient to talk to my father about some things, and I can't find the right person. I can only talk to you, my little sister."

When Princess Jinyang heard this, she asked worriedly:
"What kind of trouble did fourth brother encounter?"

King Wei sighed deeply again, his body and head became shorter due to vomiting, and he looked at the grass in front of him and said:

"It's not that something happened to me. Ever since my eldest brother got foot disease, his temper has gotten worse day by day. If I talk to him normally, he will lose his temper and tell me to get out.

I'll leave it at that, Xiaojiu is so good and good at taking care of others. When he talks to his elder brother, he will be scolded by his elder brother. After that, he has to explain to him softly and coax him.

Sister, you are in the harem. You don’t know. I have seen Xiaojiu several times when I went to the East Palace. Xiaojiu was helping the prince. It was so annoying that even I couldn’t stand it! "

Princess Jinyang looked surprised, opened her eyes slightly, and said:

"Brother Ninth has never said anything about being angry..."

King Wei looked at her and asked:

"Do you think Xiaojiu is really angry? Will he let others know?"

Princess Jinyang raised her eyes and thought for a moment... She really couldn't imagine King Jin complaining to anyone.The brother in my impression was always gentle and calm. Even if he was suffering in his heart, he would act like an adult and silently resist it.

So Princess Jinyang shook her head honestly and started to get really worried.

Wu Rou, on the other hand, lowered her eyes and reached out to hold the rope of the swing for the princess. She kept pretending not to care, but an alarm bell rang in her heart...

This direction doesn't seem right.

King Wei looked at Princess Jinyang's expression, a hint of joy of success flashed through the slits of his slender eyes, and then he said sadly:

"Recently, I always think of the old days. In the past, although the eldest brother was the prince, he never had any airs about us younger brothers and sisters. There was much harmony between the brothers.

What now?I didn’t dare to say anything anymore. Let me complain to Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu was also anxious with me, saying that I didn’t understand my elder brother and wouldn’t let him..."

As he spoke, King Wei clapped his hands excitedly, frowned and said:
"This is not something that we just have to give up to him. He is the prince. How come it is our turn for ministers to give up to him? I just hope that he can give us a good look and make life less difficult."

Princess Jinyang frowned sadly, looking very sad.

King Wei paused and said as if unintentionally:
"Xi Zi, to be honest, you like Xiao Jiu, and so do I. Recently, I have been thinking that instead of letting my eldest brother be the prince, I would rather let Xiao Jiu do it. At least... everyone can take a breather."

Princess Jinyang heard this and looked at him in surprise. She seemed a little panicked. She moved her lips twice and stammered:

"Fourth brother...this...that..."

Wu Rou frowned, then relaxed quickly, raised her head and said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei... How can you say such nonsense? Who doesn't know His Majesty's temper? Anyone who asks His Majesty to change the name of a prince will either be scolded or demoted. What do you want Princess Jinyang to do if you tell her this? "

King Wei drooped his eyebrows sadly, his fat face looked quite harmless and pitiful, and said helplessly:

"I just know that there is no place to talk about it, so I came here to complain to you."

As he spoke, he said to Wu Rou:

"Wu Cairen, you can't file a lawsuit against me, can you? I know my sister, she will never harm me."

Wu Rou smiled softly, pursed her gorgeous red lips into the shape of a crescent moon, and said:

"How could it be? I'm crazy to talk to His Majesty. Your Majesty hates women in the harem being like this."

King Wei exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief, gave Wu Rou a thumbs up, and said:

"Smart...Hey, let's talk privately. As for now, is Xiao Jiu more suitable than big brother?...Ah, Xizi, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Princess Jinyang and asked continuously:
"Don't you like your ninth brother very much? Don't you think he is suitable to be the prince?"

Princess Jinyang looked at him with her big eyes, embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Under his expectant gaze, she spoke:

"I think Ninth Brother is naturally good, but the Prince's brother was appointed by Father..."

Wu Rou's heart thumped, and she interrupted Princess Jinyang's words and said:

"Princess, it is not for us to comment on who will be the prince. The imperial concubine once taught everyone in the harem that at this time, they must talk less to avoid getting into trouble.

The princess is also a harem female, so she should be careful. "

Princess Jinyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, tapped her toes on the ground a few times, and said distressedly:

"Fourth brother, let's not talk about this. If you feel sad, just nag me. You must ask my opinion on anything you do. I don't understand anything..."

The corners of King Wei's mouth turned down at the sight. The degree was not obvious, but he was fat and anyone could tell that he was unhappy.

Especially unhappy with Wu Rou.

He raised his head, stared at Wu Rou, and said meaningfully:

"Wu Cairen, don't you also like Prince Jin very much? Since you are in love with him, please help him. When your father is happy, wouldn't you like to persuade him to let Xiao Jiu become the prince?"

Wu Rou's eyelids trembled slightly, a hint of sinisterness flashed across her beautiful brows, and she said:
"What are you saying, Your Highness? What do you mean I also like His Highness King Jin?"

Unexpectedly, King Wei straightened his chest, raised his face with a proud look, smiled and said sarcastically:
"What's wrong? As a concubine in my father's palace, and as an elder, what's wrong with liking King Jin?... Could it be that Mr. Wu Cai is thinking about something he shouldn't be thinking about?"

Wu Rou felt a knot in her heart, but it didn't show on her face, and she immediately retorted:
"Oh, that's it. Listening to His Highness King Wei's tone, I thought you meant that I have an affair with His Highness King Jin? It's because Wu Rou was overthinking and actually thought of His Highness King Wei as someone with dirty intentions. Anyone who cheats on a man and steals a woman into prostitution really deserves death."

While scolding her happily, she bowed her head and apologized to King Wei.

King Li Tai of Wei looked at her, looking even more sinister because he raised his head and stared upward.

He just watched Wu Rou salute, looked at the top of her head, looked at her expression, and chased her eyes all the way, wanting to look at her to intimidate her.

But Wu Rou just didn't look at him. She held on to the rope of the swing, snuggled next to Princess Jinyang, and looked at Princess Jinyang.
